Workshop Goal: • Extract hydraulic geometry from a LiDAR DEM • Import this into HecRAS • Perform a 1D flow calculation for an arbitrary discharge or discharges • Take variables computed in HecRAS (for instance, flooded area, mean shear stress, mean velocity) and bring these back into the GIS environment.
Motivation • Using river bed slope to estimate, for example, spatial patterns in rates of river incision or sediment transport implicitly assumes uniform flow, i.e. spatial accelerations in the flow are not allowed.
